Hello,
We have an issue that we could use some help with.
We have 5 workstations in a production environment. because the workstations consist of several network-connected devices, we deploy access points as work group bridges. So, the Wireless client is a AIR-CAP702W-A-K9 in autonomous mode as a work group bridge. The workstations move around the production floor, so they need to be able to connect to any of the APs.
In the ceiling we have 3 AIR-CAP2702E-A-K9 in lightweight mode. They are managed by a AIR-CT5508-K9 WLC.
The weird thing is that we have a tough time making sure that they 702s consistently connect to their nearest AP. We will go into WLC and see that a 702 is associated to an AP on the other side of the room. Or, we'll find that all 5 702s are associated to the same AP, even though it isn't the nearest one. This creates some intermittent performance issues.
My question is: are there any Cisco features available that will help them make smarter decisions about which AP they associate with?
Thanks
